As the title says, I'm looking for some of the best Star Trek books to read. I've read both of The Eugenics Wars books and quite enjoyed them, so was looking for some other good ones. I don't really care what time period they're in, just as long as they're Trek and pretty

Probably not the best, but I enjoyed the novelization of Star Trek IV. You get to actually see what the probe is thinking from its point of view, which was fun and super interesting.

@onehellofausername

Who wrote the novelization?

No idea. I read it when I was like 12.

EDIT: a quick google search gave me the name Vonda N. McIntyre. No idea who she is.

Vonda N McIntyre is one of the strongest Star Trek writers of that era.

She was very successful in writing her own original science fiction novels and short stories. She was a collaborator of Ursula LeGuin and a leader in a group of writers in the Northwest.

Here’s a TOR feature retrospective of her work.
